Just watched a bit of drama in miniature taking place between the roller shutter and my study window.
A jumping spider was walking along the window sill, and, I suspect, tripped one of the dangling lines owned by the red back in the upper corner.
The red back, came hurtling down, and settled on the sill, a few centimetres away from the jumping spider.
The latter slowly, slowly approached the red back, moving so stealthily that it appeared to ooze like a slug.
Suddenly the red back attempted to pounce, but the jumping spider moved even more quickly, and has ended up on the red back's back, and hauled it over so that its legs are helplessly pointing skywards and the jumping spider appears to now be eating it.
Even though I was on the other side of the glass, the speed of the attack and counter attack was terrifying.
